A photograph of a satsang gathering with a man in a striped collared shirt kneeling on a blue carpet, holding two yellow fruits toward a seated figure in orange-red robes. That seated figure has long swept-back dark hair, a white forehead band, gold-and-coral earrings, and a gold-colored garland of yellow marigolds on a golden object in the foreground. Standing behind them are people in white kurtas and pajamas, a woman in a white sari, a woman in a gold-patterned sari, and devotees in orange-red clothing, one with a lanyard. Some onlookers clap in the right foreground.
